Can anyone offer any advice on how to get these two barrel bands off? When I unscrew them, they're still too narrow in diameter to slide down the stock. Do I pry them open...? Sorry for the horribly simple question... I just don't want to mess things up.

I shot my new Enfield for the first time yesterday. It was great, EXCEPT for the spring for the extractor claw. It's either missing or completely worn out. Spent cartridges wouldn't fly out when I cycle the bolt, so I'd either have to turn the rifle up-side-down and shake it, or use a flat head screw driver to gently pull the cartridges out of the chamber.
